Digital camera with a difference - the Samsung ST550

Product

Samsung ST550.

Promise

Ultra-slim digital camera with a difference – there’s a neat little screen on the front so you can frame self-portraits with absolute confidence.

Performance

The ST550 boasts 12.2 megapixel sensor and a 3.5” LCD haptic screen, plus a wide-angle Schenider KREUZNAUCH lens for clear shooting. It’s got all the attributes that you’d want from a small pocket shooter: plus the ‘hidden’ screen on its front. The screen integrates with some very intelligent features, too: the camera can recognise faces, and if you set certain faces as priorities, it will shoot with those in best focus. It also has a blink detection feature that carries on shooting if any closed eyes are sensed. One nice touch is smile recognition – the camera only taking photographs when it can register smiles in the shot.

Verdict

Nice looks, great technology inside and a rewarding little feature in the extra screen. For solo travellers or couples who always want to be in the shot together this is a great camera to pick up and play with.
